Pros: Asphalt comes in a variety of colors, is widely available and is one of the least expensive materials.
Cons: Asphalt has a shorter life span than other roofing materials, doesn't provide the insulation other materials offer, and the quality varies.
Cost and Life Span: Priced from $70 to $120 a square and, if maintained properly, asphalt shingles will last 20 to 25 years.
